YP Media’s Latest Project Goes Live

I’m not sure why I didn’t mention this a week ago … but for those of you who haven’t had the chance to see it, YP Media’sPioneer Content website has finally gone live. I’m absolutely thrilled with the way it turned out. If anyone is interested in talking with my designer, shoot me an e-mail (dan.at.youngpioneers.com) and I’ll make sure it happens. Point your browsers toward pioneercontent.com for a look. A few things to keep in mind: The site hasn’t been optimized for all browsers just yet, which means some of you Mac users may see some wonky stuff, design-wise, when you look at the site.

Pioneer Content was essentially created to act as my journalism portfolio, but C and I managed to dream up tons of good ideas during the site’s early stages, and many of those ideas were put into action during the design phase. For instance, if you click on the link that says This Is Our Photography, you’ll be taken to the temporary homepage of Pioneer Content Images, a royalty-free stock photography house that will operate underneath the auspices of YP Media. At this stage, however, PCI isn’t really a whole lot more than just a good idea. We will be adding images and working with new photographers soon enough, but definitely not until the end of the winter. I’ll make an annoucement here as soon as PCI starts getting a bit of wind in its sails.
